Quotes of the Day....
Schiavo Case:
"This is a clash between the social conservatives and the process conservatives, and I would count myself a process conservative...when a case like this has been heard by 19 judges in six courts and it's been appealed to the Supreme Court three times, the process has worked - even if it hasn't given the result that the social conservatives want. For Congress to step in really is a violation of federalism." - David Davenport of the Hoover Institute, a conservative research organization.
"My party is demonstrating that they are for states' rights unless they don't like what states are doing. This couldn't be a more classic case of a state responsibility. This Republican Party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy. There are going to be repercussions from this vote. There are a number of people who feel that the government is getting involved in their personal lives in a way that scares them." - Representative Christopher Shays of Connecticut
